Validating the setup
Once the stages above have been performed and all necessary setup and configuration steps are complete, the archive migration is ready to begin.
At this point, a collection of links have been defined and mapped to modules that perform tasks on those links. The source and target environments have been defined within Archive Shuttle and all of the Archive Shuttle Modules are enabled and set to an appropriate schedule. Finally, the Enterprise Vault retention categories have been mapped according to the migration needs.

|
NOTE: Before proceeding with any migration of archived data, confirm that each stage has been performed. |
Depending on the migration, additional steps may be required. These are described later in this guide.
Adding a new license
From time to time it might be necessary to update the license information for Archive Shuttle. This may be because additional modules have been purchased, or it may be because the following type of warning has been displayed, and then additional licenses purchases:
|
|
NOTE: The license file must be a .dlv file. Archive Shuttle license files are *.dlv files acquired from Quest or its' partners. |
There are two methods to update the license information for Archive Shuttle:
User interface
You can also upload the license via the user interface. To do this:
1.Go to Reports > License.
2.Click Upload License.
3.Upload the correct license file.
4.Click Upload.
|
|
NOTE: Only one license file can be used at a time within the product. Customers requiring multiple licenses for use in the same environment should co-ordinate with their account manager. |
Manually
To replace/update the license file manually, perform the following steps:
1.Obtain a new license.dlv file from Quest and copy it to a temporary location on the Archive Shuttle server. If the file is NOT named 'license.dlv', rename it so that it has such name.
2.Copy the file to \Program Files\Quest\Archive Shuttle\WebServices\Bin (or an alternate location, if Archive Shuttle is installed on a different path or drive). The license also needs to be placed to \Program Files\Quest\Archive Shuttle\Service.
3.Confirm overwriting of the existing license.dlv file.
4.Run an elevated command prompt.
5.Issue the command IISRESET.
Using the Archive Shuttle user interface
The Archive Shuttle User Interface is fully web-based. This allows archive migrations to be performed from anywhere in an organization from an Internet browser. It also means that archive migrations can be managed externally by partners of the migration organization. Archive Shuttle recommends that HTTPS be enabled in that situation.
General information
All pages share a common look and feel within the Archive Shuttle user interface.
On the left side is the main navigation area. It is used to jump from page to page, where every page controls a different aspect of Archive Shuttle.
Along the top are Actions, which are context sensitive to each page.
The following pages are available:

Grids/Tables
Filtering
Many of the grids / tables can be sorted and filtered as required.
Sorting can be achieved by clicking on the appropriate column header. Ascending versus descending order is achieved by clicking on the column heading a second time.
Filtering is provided on many columns by the means of the textbox below a column header. Data entered into this text box will cause Archive Shuttle to filter by on that column. The small antenna symbol behind the textbox can be used to change the type of filter, with the following being common options that are available:
·Begins with
·Contains
· Does not contain
· Ends with
· Equals
· Does not equal
It is possible to combine multiple column filters to further enhance the displayed data in the grid / table.
In order to apply the filter, which may contain multiple columns/selections click on the Apply button at the right of the filter row.
A second filtering option is provided by the little antenna symbol behind the header name of a column. It provides a Microsoft ® Excel ® like filtering interface which lists the following values for an easy selection:
·(All): Does not apply a filter, displays All Items
·(Blanks): Only displays items that do not have a value
·(Non blanks): Only displays items that have a value, hiding blank values
·Values: Aggregated list of values from that column to choose from
Paging
All grids provide standard paging functionality. It is possible to see the current page, and select to view another page from the pager at the bottom of the grid.
